Science communication is totally our jam, and getting to talk about how we do what we do is always great! Thanks to everyone who sat in on our session during the #AAASmtg last week.
Thrilled to see so many #AAASmtg attendees at Sharing Science Stories session by @scishow.bsky.social You Tube creators (8M subscribers).
#UICAHS' Leah Lebowicz was interviewed for a recent episode of @scishow.bsky.social that explores the history, scientific significance and ethical complexities of the Pernkopf Atlas. The episode also showcases artwork by second-year #UICBVIS student Melinda Thompson.
You can still sign up for a Rocks Box subscription and get February's rock (shungite)! But if your collection is missing any of these gems, minerals, or fossils you can order them at scishow.rocks!

The latest Deep Dive is now available. Due to its sensitive nature we've decided to forego the premiere, so you can freely skip the more graphic details if you choose.
Watch it at youtu.be/4VJfFZo1mPM?...

A warning that graphic "we're going to discuss a lot of difficult topics in this video and to do so, we will be showing illustrations of human remains, including some images from the Pernkopf Atlas. There will be an on-screen warning ahead of these images, and we will include time codes to skip in the description. Look for this graphic! All anatomical props in this video are replicas." Description of Graphic: An unfolded piece of paper that says "Warning: Sensitive image in 2" the number in this case being a countdown.
A head shot of host Danielle Bainbridge with a serious and pensive look on her face on set.

Tomorrow we are unpacking the history behind a compendium of medical science that is so controversial it's been at the core of a moral debate for decades.
Join us at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET for the live premiere, or tune in after if you want to skip the sensitive details.
Danielle Bainbridge is hosting the next Deep Dive. We'll be unpacking an important and disturbing part of science history Thursday, Jan 29th at youtube.com/scishow.
Warning: this Deep Dive will cover difficult topics and contain sensitive images.
That's a wrap on Field Trips! We had such a great time showing you around.

Jaida and Dr. Stevens pose for a photo in the lab!
Dr. Stevens captivates the lab while talking about glia.
A member of Stevens's team is showing off some research images to our team.
A member of the lab preps a sample in a dish in the lab.
With a lab so big, Dr. Stevens’s team must be working on something huge!
That’s why we’re bringing you to the Stevens Lab to check it out!

The final stop on our Field Trips Tour is Dr. Beth Stevens’s lab at Boston Children’s Hospital.
Fun fact: the Stevens Lab is bigger than some entire university departments, and is spread across Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard, and MIT!

When Hannah Yevick learned that the placenta contained a cell whose surface spanned 13 square meters, the biophysicist was fascinated. For this episode of @scishow.bsky.social Field Trips, we traveled to Yevick's lab to learn about the largest cell in the human body.

Join us at Brandeis University to visit Dr. Hannah Yevick’s Lab, where the focus is on billions of individual cells that fused together to become one super cell spanning 13 square meters!
That’s the kind of thing you want to see for yourself.
For the next stop of our Field Trips tour, we’re camping out under a tent made from the biggest cell in the human body! (metaphorically, of course).

Jaida Elcock and Dr. Feng Zheng pose for a photo during their interview.
Jaida Elcock dressed in lab gear giving an expression that says "can you believe this is happening?"
Dr. Zheng and Jaida engrossed in conversation about the specifics of the lab work.
Dr. Zheng showing off how some of the lab equipment works.
First stop on our Field Trip tour is Dr. Feng Zhang's lab at the Broad Institute.
You may already be familiar with Dr. Zhang’s work if you’ve ever heard of CRISPR… but how do you follow up a hit like that?
That’s a story big enough to tell in person.

If you love SciShow, get a handmade shirt! It was designed by host, producer, model, and talented artist Savannah! complexly.store
New @scishow.bsky.social episode I worked on! They actually pitched to ME to write an episode about quantum random number generators using Dungeons and Dragons as a framing device. I think it's fair to say I was the right person for the job. Check it out, it came out well!
